Not much has been happening recently, Gareth has extended the loom for me (I didn't trust myself, being colour blind to a degree. Plus hot stuff like soldering irons + me = lulz for everyone else)
I'm hoping to get the engine in tomorrow but it would be advantageous if I could find the keys for the car :cry: they seem to have vanished completely.
All I need is shafts and an exhaust system and that's all the major work sorted.
always look forward to an update on this. Breeze blue one of my favourites.
lol im looking forward to the update when it drives out of my back garden lol :pQuote:

Well got up at 8am (didn't know there is two 8 o'clocks in one day :eek: lol ) and Gareth picked me up just after 9, the engine is finally in place in a fashion but I've discovered I need the metal mount for the drivers side and a gear linkage, could have sworn I'd seen a mount lay about but obviously not.

Needs a good clean up.

The slam panel took a beating off the EGR valve, I never thought to remove it first :mad: never mind its done.

Thats a shame mate, lookin good so far tho
Thats the SAI valve thing bud, You can remove it and I'm sure i still have a few blanking plates knocking about if you want one. Msn me.
Good to finally see the car with a engine kinda in. You turned it over yet?!
Yeah turned it over and got Gareth to double check it, all seems good so far.
You've told me what the SAI is before but I forget and I'll need a blanking plate for sure as I've removed it now :) I've got pics of them bits you're interested in as well :)
ECO16V cheers mate :)
